Custom task types supported in Bundles (task templates & rules)

How does that work?

Create a task template A and apply task type X.
Create a task template B and you can also apply task type X (because it is bound to the project)

@Jan-Rienk

Whether they are stored in a library or not, it’d still be handy to have them available in a bundle, wouldn’t it?

Agreed, definitely useful in a Bundle. But task types do not need Bundles in order to be global, just like custom fields do not need to be in a bundle to be global, but certainly useful that they can be added to a bundle. The same logic could be applied to task types - they should be available from a library and used in Bundles as well as Rules & Task templates that can create such task types.

@Jan-Rienk

Maybe create a separate request and cross reference as it might serve as a stepping stone?

Done, and added to the OP:

Global Custom task types: the ability to add the same task type to multiple projects

Just like custom fields added to a library, it would be great to add custom task types to a library so that they are standardized and available to add to any project. That way, the project that the task type is multi-homed could be grouped by that task type and other features such as rules could be used in that multi-homed project. Additionally, they could be quantified in global Dashboards. This would really expand the usability of custom task types which currently are great if they are isolat…
